but when i tried to write the image of tomsrbt to a floppy i got an error that my floppy is too small, it is only 1440KB instead of the necessary 1880KB or 2100KB.then i found a guide to install it by writing 30 floppy's but i really don't have the time to write and extract 30 floppy's

isn't there a methode to let my laptop connect to my other pc so it can download all the necessary files from my main pc?like a network install from Debian or Ubuntu?

1.44mb floppies can be formatted to be 1.72mb ones, just not on windoze. Boot the DSL cd on your desktop machine, and you'll find an easy floppy formatter tool in the menu.You can also write the floppy image from DSL after formatting.
